The Forest Trail, a run round the Cambus O’ May forest, is a perfect choice if you want to avoid climbing out onto the exposed hillside on a cold or windy day.

The first downhill single-track is a nice fast sweeping section that leads you through the trees down to a rough rooty natural path.
Some of the highlights are the climb and descent around Cnoc Dubh and the descent on a very rough double track that starts at Tag 5 and is full of dips and humps. In general, it is a very nice natural route that waits for you to paddle through it.
